Years of experience have taught us that the best results are achieved when treating the whole person. At HRI, we don’t focus solely on the addiction, we utilize ‘evidenced-based practices’ to achieve positive treatment outcomes. The whole person approach utilizes various treatment models based on individualized needs, treating key areas such as education and career, spirituality, psycho-education, health education, 12 step models, anger management, gender specific concerns and therapeutic models.

Founded in 1970, Rubicon Inc is Virginia’s oldest and most comprehensive chemical dependency treatment program. We offer a full continuum of services ranging from detoxification to aftercare. These modalities are designed to address individual needs of program participants and vary in treatment curriculum, level of intensity, length of stay and focus on community re-entry programming. We are a private, nonprofit corporation with a Board of Directors as our governing authority. Originally started as a component of Richmond Community Action Program (RCAP), Rubicon has provided treatment for thousands of persons who have made the decision to free themselves of substance abuse. We also contract with various Community Service Boards across the State of Virginia, the Virginia Department of Corrections, other private and non-profit entities as well as persons who self pay for their treatment. It is our treatment philosophy that chemical dependency is a disease and by providing direct and supportive services to the “whole person”, each individual can maintain an abstinence lifestyle.In 1991, Rubicon opened its first gender specific Women’s Treatment component and in 1994, this component moved its services to our 13 acre, Highland Park campus where we further expanded our services to include the Women and Children’s program. In 1999, a new facility was opened on the campus to house our Men’s Treatment and Detoxification Services. Rubicon has long recognized the need for more dedicated programming for persons with both mental health and substance use disorders; therefore, we are pleased to have a specialized Co-occurring Disorders Program, Rubicon's HOPE on the campus of Southside Virginia Training Center in Petersburg, Virginia.

Prescription drug abuse and opiate addiction impact millions of Americans each year. You and/or your loved one are not alone in fighting this debilitating disease. Colonial Management Group, LP (CMG) understands the difficulties of the social stigma associated with being addicted and we believe an independent and constructive lifestyle is attainable. Our priority is to stabilize each patient, individually, by providing medically monitored treatment combined with psychosocial rehabilitation services in our safe and clinically supportive environment. This allows the patient to make positive changes in their lives in an atmosphere of dignity and respect in a therapeutic and appropriate time frame for each individual.

CMG operates a number of nationally recognized and accredited methadone treatment centers dedicated to helping these individuals and their families regain control of their lives. Addiction is recognized as a chronic disease by the World Health Organization, the American Medical Association, the National Institute of Drug Addiction, the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment and many others. As such, addiction has been clinically proven to be managed with appropriate medication and counseling. Our comprehensive treatment programs begin with a detailed psychological assessment and initial treatment plan at induction. Our highly skilled staff then guides patients through a medically supervised stabilization period that integrates individual, group and family counseling along with state of the art medication treatments such as methadone and Suboxone, followed by continuing outpatient care throughout the medical maintenance phase. When the treatment plan is followed, and the medications are taken as directed, this treatment philosophy is proven to suppress symptoms of opiate withdrawal, decrease cravings for opiates, reduce illicit opiate use, block the effects of other opiates, and assist patients in staying committed to treatment and a lifestyle of recovery. We take great pride in treating our patients with dignity and respect in each phase of their treatment experience.

Methadone, as an opiate, is a central nervous system depressant and is not a cure for opiate addiction. It is a pharmacological tool which suppresses withdrawal symptoms, lessens the cravings for opiates and coupled with counseling, facilitates those interpersonal interactions involved in strengthening motivations, changing lifestyles and breaking the cycle of life patterns and stress reactions underlying relapse. Methadone is a long acting, synthetic drug first used for the treatment of drug addiction in the United States in the 1960’s. It has a 40-year history of demonstrated success in the treatment of opiate addiction. When used in proper doses in maintenance treatment, methadone does not create euphoria, sedation or an analgesic effect. Doses must be individually determined by the medical staff. Methadone maintenance is a long-term treatment for opiate addictions of all types. There is no specific length of time in a medicated assisted program that is best for everyone. Since methadone programs are voluntary, the length of time spent in treatment depends greatly on the patient. The longer you stay in treatment, the greater your chances for success. Initially, the patient must visit the clinic regularly and receive his/her medication, yet over time the successful patient earns privileges. These can include fewer clinic visits and eligibility for take home medications as allowed by your state regulations. This allows many patients to lead normal, productive lives, working and caring for their families and enjoying an active social life; all on an outpatient basis so your life is minimally disrupted.
